[edit] Reviews

[edit] Country release

“ Twain leads the pack with five nominations for the Jan. 11 American Music Awards, including nods in the pop and country categories. There's no denying the momentum generated by her multi-platinum Come On Over album, and this latest single will likely follow its predecessors up the charts. It doesn't sound remotely country, but that hasn't stopped a number of her previous singles from wooing country radio programmers. The lyric, about what it really takes to turn a woman's head, is really somewhat juvenile, but the melody has a quirky appeal that should catch listeners' attention. Twain delivers the song with her usual sex kitten persona, purring some lines and speaking others. The combination of vocal personality and skillful production has always worked well for Twain and will likely result in another hit. ”

--Billboard, December 12, 1998

[edit] Pop release

“ The third pop outing from Shania Twain's multi-platinum Come On Over works a percolating uptempo vibe that's a far cry from the low-light sound of her previous country-to-pop hits "You're Still The One" and "From This Moment On." Remixed by Twain's producer/co-writer/husband "Mutt" Lange, the pop edit barely resembles the instrumentation of the original country version and could possibly solidify Twain's status as the decade's crossover queen. The one glitch on this track is the use of dated-sounding instrumental elements to "pop" it up, which give the cleverly worded song a misguided '80s appeal, similar to the previous dance remixes for "The One" and "Moment." It might be time for Lange and Twain to look outside their own stable to credibly court the uptempo side of the pop genre. That said, Twain is a momentously popular artist who sounds great on this tongue-in-cheek track about image over substance. "That Don't Impress Me" should certainly be given the opportunity to drum up support from faithful listeners. ”

--Billboard, March 13, 1999
